Code of Industry Principles

Observe High Standards

• We are committed to advertising a diversity of products and services.
• We support advertising that is free of statements, illustrations, or implications which are offensive to good taste or public decency, or otherwise incompatible with individual community standards.
• We are committed to a program which prohibits advertising products illegal for sale to minors that are intended to be read from, or within 500 feet of, established places of worship, public playgrounds, or primary and secondary schools.

We Respect the Environment

• We support billboards as a business use to be erected only in commercial and industrial areas.
• We support the exclusion of new billboards in areas of genuine scenic beauty outside of commercial and industrial areas.

Create a Working Relationship with Local Communities

• We support the right to maintain lawfully erected billboards.

Provide an Effective, Attractive Product

Support Worthy Public Causes
